Cigarette lighter - no power

[arthurfowler]

Hello,

The power to the (fake) cigarette lighter stopped working after one use of a cheap phone charger being plugged into it.

My Octavia is only 5 months old. Could I have damaged something? Any idea on fixing it?

Thanks in advance

I would check the fuse as it sounds like it might have blown

+1 this member is quite correct, as I have blown these cigarette fuses whilst setting-up a permanent power source to TomTom sat-nav.

Thanks. Never occurred to me that it would have its own fuse!

Yes, fuse gone. Thanks
